What load do the mezzanines support?

The metallic Tecrostar mezzanines of the S, M and L ranges support a uniformly distributed load of 200 kg/m² (that means that you can place a 200 kg distributed load on each square meter). This is the live load for residential uses according to the international regulations. The total maximum load will be 200 kg by the square meters of the mezzanine.

What are the available colours and finishes for the mezzanines?

The steel pieces such as structures, railing posts and the stringers of the stairs are available in:

Black and white. Available in stock without additional costs.

Any RAL monolayer colour. With extra cost and upon request. Consult delivery time.

In both cases the paint is a lacquer with maximum adhesion applied by electrostatic process with polyester powder paint, suitable for outdoors.

Does the kit include the flooring boards?

Yes, it does. They are structural boards made by european radiata pine plywood 18mm thick. They have tongue-and-groove joints in their four sides.

Length: 2335 mm

Width: 610 mm

Thickness: 18 mm

Is the floor tailored? How does it fit to my dimensions?

The kit includes as many boards as needed to install the mezzanine in its maximum dimensions. To install the mezzanine in smaller dimensions, it is necessary to cut the boards as it is explained in the installation manual included in the mezzanine kit. Cutting the boards is really easy and all the required tools are available at our online store as well.

Is there any other alternative to the wooden floor?

No. Tecrostar has not a different flooring alternative. However, it is possible to personalize the finish of the floor adding some accessories on the boards (carpet, platform,...). Check our floor finishes in accessories section. If the customer installs a different floor from the boards provided, it is their responsibility to ensure the resistance of the full mezzanine, since the floor contributes to the stability of the whole.

Can I have two heights?

No, you can’t. At the moment, our mezzanines are available just for a single height although some customers install them on another existing mezzanine. In that case, the resistance of the existing one should be checked.

What load can support the beams if I hang something from them? (E.g. a punching bag)

It depends on the beam type, we need to calculate the corresponding surface load. For example, a secondary beam TM15 supports around 560 kg. You should take into account that if we apply additional loads, a part of the bearing capacity of the beam is being consumed.

Should you have any doubt about important additional loads, contact our technical department.

Can I install a Tecrostar mezzanine outdoors?

Tecrostar products can be installed outdoors (exposed to the elements), provided that a series of special measures are taken during installation and that you carry out regular maintenance in order to ensure that the materials are in good condition. The recommendations are the following:

The Tecrostar mezzanine flooring comprises moisture-resistant plywood structural panels. However, it is recommendable for the customer to apply waterproofing paint to the floor and exposed edges; this will be particularly effective for preventing water from penetrating and getting into the tongue and groove joints of the panels and affecting the edges.

It is also recommendable to install the mezzanine with a slight slope (approximately 2%) to make it easier for water to run off and prevent it from accumulating. This incline can be achieved by installing levelling plates under the highest columns of the structure.

Similarly, all wooden components (wooden steps, cleats, etc.) should be treated with some type of water-resistant paint or varnish to prevent dampness from penetrating and cracking the material, thereby resulting in the loss of its mechanical and aesthetic features.

In addition, wooden components should undergo regular maintenance, the surface protection applied (varnish or paint) being checked to see it has not deteriorated and reapplying when necessary.

The steel components are coated with paints suitable for outdoor use but as after one or two years the paint will probably need to be touched up in small areas like edges and corners that could show signs of rusting and loss of shine. It is recommendable to polish these areas to remove any rust and then apply the paint.

If the mezzanine is going to be installed outdoors near the sea, the maintenance recommendations should be carried out more regularly, due to the greater corrosive power caused by the presence of salt and humidity.

The aluminium handrail of the railings does not require special maintenance, as all of them undergo surface treatments to guarantee their performance outdoors (anodized silver, lacquered in black or with wood effect).

The structure and its corresponding floor anchors and braces are designed to withstand the actions of the wind. DO NOT CLOSE OFF THE SIDES, as this results in greater horizontal forces not considered in the calculation.

Can the mezzanine be installed without columns or removing a column? Attached to walls

No, our mezzanines are sold with columns by default. We cannot guarantee the resistance of walls or corbels and the customer will be responsible if the product is modified in these cases.

Can I install the mezzanine in a sloped floor?

Yes. Provided that the inclination is small, we can use a wedge under the mezzanine columns to level it. If the inclination is too small it might be not necessary at all and the slope might be imperceptible

Can I install it in a room with trapezoidal or irregular walls?

Yes, you can, because the structure does not need to be in total contact with the wall.

You can adjust the structural floor, working around architectural barriers or irregular surfaces.

When the walls are irregular or when you want to work around a fixed object, the decking can be finished off against the wall

Can I install the mezzanine at a lower or higher height than indicated?

It is possible it to be lower it requires to cut the columns and drill again though. On the contrary, it is not possible it to be higher. The cut of the columns can be made by the customer or order Tecrostar to do it.

Can it be installed as an extension to an existing mezzanine?

Yes. This is quite common and the results are very good. The telescopic system of the columns enables the height to be adjusted every 12 cm, so in the worst case scenario you will have a 6cm difference.

Can I install a mezzanine making modifications of it?

You can make aesthetic modifications, but any structural modification non approved by Tecrostar will be under customer’s responsibility.

Can the columns be installed moved to the corners?

Yes. The columns can be moved to the corners up to ¼ of the total length of the structure. This feature allows you to work around the walls, switches or furniture you have on site without compromising safety.

Can I add extra columns to distribute the weight?

Yes, you can. However, the maximum load capacity will be unaffected.

What types of stairs are there in Tecrostar.com?

You can choose between several types of stairs:

Straight stairs

Spiral stairs

Ladders

Retractable ladders

Alternating tread stairs

How is it installed?

To install Tecrostar mezzanines you need 2 adults (they do not need to be DIY experts). It is recommendable to use personal safety equipment like gloves, boots, etc. in order to avoid accident.

When installing range L mezzanines you may need to use some type of scaffolding or ladder for working at heights and manual or electric lifting machinery to raise the primary beams, particularly if the structure is more than 3m high. The other ranges can be lifted easily by hand.

You will need the following tools to install the mezzanines: tape measure, some type of spanner for m10 and m8 bolts and a screwdriver (an electric screwdriver will make the task much easier), spirit level, drill and a tool for cutting the panels (saw, jigsaw, circular saw, etc.)

You can find all the tools required to assemble it and tested by Tecrostar in the tools section.

All the models are installed by following these steps:

Pre-assemble the structure on the floor in the desired area.

Raise the outer structure to the desired height.

Finish assembling the structure and floor.

How long does it take to install?

You can do it yourself with the help of a friend. It is easily installed in a few hours, depending on the product.

TS8 Mezzanine: 3 hours with 2 people

TM15 Mezzanine: 4 hours with 2 people

TL30 Mezzanine: 5 hours with 3 people

The times are a guideline and for assembly only. You need to add the time it takes to measure up, move the components to the location, clean up, etc.

What is the delivery time?

For products in stock (white and black for S, M and L ranges), the delivery time will be approximately 5 working days from placing the order. Once the product has left our facilities, the normal transport time is between 7 and 10 working days. The transport time varies greatly and is difficult to control due to many factors: Place of delivery, local holidays, customs, etc.

If we cannot meet this delivery time, we will contact you.

How is the product shipped and received?

Mezzanines are shipped in boxes by an external company in a lorry with a tail lift that enables the box to be unloaded to the ground (at street level at the customer’s address).

How is the package and what are its dimensions?

Depending on your order you can receive different packages: One box for the mezzanines of the S and M ranges or two boxes for L mezzanines.

Length: 239 cm

Width: 112 cm

Height: 54 cm

The stairs can share the box with the mezzanines if the are purchased at the same time or you can have a separate box for the stairs. Check the stairs section.

How do I get the product up to my home?

Don't be alarmed by the total weight of the product, the components are light and manageable, so you can move them easily and take them up in the lift.The heaviest components are the primary beams from the L range (39 kg), the rest of the ranges are considerably lighter (12kg).The floor panels are very light and fit in any lift. No component is more than 2.4m long and therefore, fits in most lifts.

Can I hire a service to take the material up to my home?

In most cases, you can.

Is it delivered on Saturdays?

No

Is it delivered in metropolitan areas such as Madrid/ Paris/London?

Yes

What if the access to the delivery address is complicated?

Sometimes, the carrier cannot access to point of delivery due to an extremely narrow street or any other difficulty. In such cases, the carrier cannot do the delivery with the usual truck and he may need to use a different vehicle or extra support. If the carrier considers that the point of delivery is complicated, request a quotation. If you don’t inform in advance that the access is complicated, the delivery will be paralysed until you pay the extra cost.

Characteristics of the materials

Tecrostar products are manufactured with the most suitable materials for the proposed technical solutions, combining wood, steel and top quality aluminium.

The steels used for beams, columns and other components are fit for structural uses with a high yield strength (S235, S275 or S3555, as required). The pieces are manufactured using maximum precision laser cutting, folding and pressing processes. Next a powder coating is applied and they are baked in the oven, offering maximum adhesion and an outstanding finish.

Structure hardware grade 8.8

Anodized aluminium apt for outdoor use

The wood panels used for the mezzanine flooring can be made of European radiata pine plywood or high density structural chipboard. All the boards are tongue and groove on all four sides to prevent faults and unevenness at the joints of the modules.

Other wooden components, such as the steps and parts of the handrails, are made from top quality beech.

TECRO has earned certification from the AEM, the federation of Spanish materials handling. We have also received a Gold Medal Award of Merit from the INPEX (Invention and New Product Exposition), the top award for innovation at the largest Invention Exposition in the USA.
